1: He founded Zion on the Holy Mountain--
2: and oh, how GOD loves his home! Loves it far better than all the homes of Jacob put together!
3: God's hometown--oh! everyone there is talking about you!
4: I name them off, those among whom I'm famous: Egypt and Babylon, also Philistia, even Tyre, along with Cush. Word's getting around; they point them out: "This one was born again here!"
5: The word's getting out on Zion: "Men and women, right and left, get born again in her!"
6: GOD registers their names in his book: "This one, this one, and this one--born again, right here."
7: Singers and dancers give credit to Zion: "All my springs are in you!" A Korah prayer of Heman
